Toast a slider?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if toast is a slider food? When I eat Protein I have so much restriction at 2 months out and sometimes I can feel it creeping back up my throat. I had the smallest bit of salmon last night and felt SO full after. Well, I decided to have my toast last night and I managed one large slice of toast in 15 minutes with a nice satiated feeling but not a stuffed feeling like with protein. I just wanted to check if that's normal. There is always this feeling of..."oh..that went down well. That was a big slice of toast...oh no, have I stretched my sleeve?" LOL. The paranoia set in. It's not like I could sit and eat toast after toast, though; one was definitely enough, just surprised my tummy didn't reject it.

you betcha! I love toast cause it doesn't cause that tight yuk creeping out of your throat feeling. . .I can easily down 2 slices of toast without a problem, but give me 1 chicken leg, good lord!

haha! That's very true, isn't it? Protein is so filling on the sleeve but that toast just seems to go down like a treat!

I totally know what you mean! If I eat fish or chicken I fill up sooooo quick and it just sits in my throat which is so uncomfortable, but if I have toast or Jennie-o Turkey, either ground or the cutlets, it does great in my tummy! Weird! :blink:

Any carbs will go through you a lot quicker than the Protein will. Which is why you are supposed to limit the carbs

Thanks! It isn't a sprint it's a marathon and yes I do feel better and have made many positive changes but I know lurking inside is the old me and my real battle will be for life... Keeping it off and staying healthy, but I feel I have it in me and I have all the tools I need to do it!

You have to read the fine print also check out my intro to really understand. I came home in 2009 on a mission I lost the initial 200 lbs on my own with blood sweat tears and nutrition eating 5 small meals allowing myself one cheat meal a week whether it was chicken parm or $15 at taco bell.

I cut out beer and soda for the most part as I knew I was headed toward a lifetime without it and really stayed away from the sweets.

I ramped up my exercise when I was 575 lbs I couldn't hardly do 10 minutes on the treadmill at 2 mph and now today and yesterday I did over 3 miles on the elliptical in 30 minutes and did a full body workout upper one day/lower the next

It really is easy when you think about it but we are our own worst enemies 3 things will keep you on track 1) Eat Protein 2) Drink Water 3) Exercise... of course Vitamins, support groups, and doctor follow ups are extremely important as well but those first three things are what really gets the sleeve working for you.

I've lost 105 lbs in 7+ months post sleeve and after recommitting to working my sleeve this week I think i'm going to see another big drop on the scale tomorrow can't wait!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
